Mother Heroic lyrics
by e. e. cummings
[Verse]
Oh thou that bowest
Thy ecstatic face
Thy perfect sorrows
Are the world's to keep
Wherefore onto thy knees
Come we
With a prayer
[Verse]
Oh thou that bowest
Thy ecstatic face
Thy perfect sorrows
Are the world's to keep
Wherefore onto thy knees
Come we
With a prayer
[Chorus]
Mother heroic
Mother glorious
Beholding in thy eyes
Immortal tears
[Verse]
Oh thou that bowest
Thy ecstatic face
